Christmas Seal Sales May Reach $22,080 Coal Results from the final reminder sent to contributors regarding Christmas Seals are coming in in such a fashion as to indicate that this year's goal of $22,000 may be reached, Ralph E. Albright, executive secretary of the Lorain County Tuberculosis and Health Association said this week. Total receipts up tu Tuesday of this week were $21,(133.09. This represents an increase of $159.09 over the total giving of last year's drive. Following are results to date of the Seal Sale by areas: Amherst, $1,134.14, decrease of $82.90. Lorain, $6,155.62, an increase of $531.41.- Elyria, $6,044.65, an increase of $75.11. Oberlin, $2,102.9S, a decrease of $173.25, Wellington, $678 60, a decrease of $20.71. Co'inty Schools. $5,717.10, aden-east; of $170.67. X-ray survey prognur. During the month of January, three one-day street surveys were made at which a total of 252 x-rays were taken. So far in February surveys have been made in Oberlin, Lorain and Elyria with a total of 357 x-rays. Total since September is 5,613. The mobile x-ray unit will be on Fearl avenue at 29th street in Lorain on Friday of this week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dates Set for Theatre Group's New Production The Lorain County Workshop Players will present "Papa Is All," by Patterson Greene, in the Grange Hall on Milan avenue the evenings of March 9, 10, and 11. Beverley King will portray the 'eadine role of Mama in this Pennsylvania Dutch comedy. This is Mrs. King's first major role with the players. Bob Lenhard and Anthony Meyer, who may be remembered for their leading roles of the two old men in "Smilin' Through" will again be seen together, but as father and son. Meyer plays Papa, the tyrannical father who misuses the Mennonite tradition for purposes of his own, suppressing, in the name of religion, all the simple pleasures ol everyday life. Lenhard plays the son, Jake, who with his sister, Emma, played by Norma Waviick, rebels against Papa's tyranny. ' The rebellion, which has been helped along by Mama might have been completely successful if it weren't for the "worldly" neighbor Mrs. Yoder, who gives away everything in her own gossipping fashion. This humorous character will be portrayed by Shirley Cliildres.i who aido played a major part in last year's "Smilin' Through" and a minur role in the group's roicnt "Lost Horizon." Mrs. Childresi is equally convincing as the vociferous Mrs. Yodor as she was in the sweetness of her two prefion roles. Dan Strauss will play the part of the State Trooper LrcndeL Eagle Auxiliary will meet in regular session this (Thursday) evening at the Eagle Hme.

Coal Situation Is "Not Good," Sav Dealers, Board Effects of the coal strike are beginning to be felt in Amherst as dealers stork piles go down and - absolutely no more coal expected to come into town until tcveral , days after the strike is settled. Continued cold weather will see all local yards cleaned nut by the middle or end of next week, ply reports no coal on hand at : present, the Amherst Lumber company has only "a few days' I supply" left in the yards, the Farmers Elevator has enough to last tor ab'iut a week and Mi.sch-' ka Coal Yaro reports a supply sufficient only for a "week or ten days," No dealers have any coal on the roads, all reporting shipments oe-ing appropriated by the railroads en route. Affecting possibly the most people in town is the fuel situation at the municipal generating plant. According to C. L. Goodspciid, president of the Board of Pulilic affairs, only about a week's supply of coal is on hand. The plant was at one time this week down to five days' supply but an additional car on Tuesday evening built up the supply. The plant has been promised state aid in obtaining sufficient coal to maintain operations, but members of the Board have no definite assurance that the aid will be forthcoming if needed. The Board is requesting that people in tuWn co-operate by reducing the use of lights as piui-Ii as possible during the peak load hours in the evening, at least until the situation improves. Mrs. C.

Out of 30,000 direct mail pleas for financial assistance, less than 1250 have so far been received. This percentage figure is far below the national average and probably the least enthusiastic response ever experienced by the-Lorain County Tuberculosis and Health Association. . ( , President Joseph A. Ignat. Oberlin, stated today, "The newness of the campaign in the' county is in part responsible for the lafck of returns among the families not yet acquainted with the. work of: the American Heart Aassociation, but the failure to respond on the part of the people who are fully aware that heart disease is our number one health problem is difficult to explain."' Secretary L. B. Hindtnan urges that all persons who are planning to make contributions do so before February 28th, the campaign deadline date. Of all funds received, 65 will I tions to run over $:J million.

' on receipt by council of sufficient petitions for the work. To that end Village Solicitor D. R. Goldthorpe was requested by council to prepare petition forms that can be signed by property owners including a preliminary estimate of the cost to the owners.Laundon prepared tentative estimates on several forms of gutters, recommending cement curbs and gutters as the form best suited for permanence and conformity. Costs were estimated at approximately $3.00 per running foot for each side of the street for the curbing and gutters. Of this cost property owners would pay the major share, th- "illage paying for the cost of intersections and a percentage of the balance. Tentatively council planned to do the complete job as one project with the village paying a high enough percentage of the total costs to assume all except the costs of each property owner's curb and gutter. Trash boxes rejected Council authorized a letter to the Cleveland concern that had proposed installation of trash receptacles on the streets, indicating that the official body did not care to have the receptacles here. The cans w,uld have been put up at no charge to the village but would have carried advertising on all sides. Council turned down the offer on the grounds that the "billboards on the sidewalks" would detract from the appearance of the town and would be an obstruction on narrow walks. ' Tt w-s p! , .i..a 1 u-t tiat the existing trash cans, . installed by the Jaycees, were doing a good job, although some were being used by merchants to get rid of waste materials from the stores. Letters received Goldthorpe reported that 14 replies had been received from villages all over the state in answer to the form letter suggesting a state-wide organization of villages. Council briefly discussed further steps in forming such an organization depending upon further, interest from other villages. Since village funds cannot be spent for such' purposes, coun-cilmen as individuals are footing the bills so far, no official action was taken. Extension asked Extension of closing hours for pool rooms until 1 -a.m. was requested by Tom Abraham, operator of the pool room on Tenney avenue. Abraham reported that he had I contacted neighbors in regard to j the hours and had received no complaints for closing later lat- recommendations. Pay Real Estate Taxes at Bank Until Tuesday Payments of local real estate taxes will be accepted at the Voal branch of the Lorain County ivings and Trust company up to tnd including next Tuesday without penalty. j ; Tuesday' Is1 the deadline for payment without the penalty, but payments at the bank bearing the Feo. 28 dateline will be accepted, according to Walter Wright, Lo rain county treasurer.

Out of 30,000 direct mail pleas for financial assistance, less than 1250 have so far been received. This percentage figure is far below the national average and probably the least enthusiastic response ever experienced by the-Lorain County Tuberculosis and Health Association. .

Oberlin, stated today, "The newness of the campaign in the' county is in part responsible for the lafck of returns among the families not yet acquainted with the. work of: the American Heart Aassociation, but the failure to respond on the part of the people who are fully aware that heart disease is our number one health problem is difficult to explain."'

' on receipt by council of sufficient petitions for the work. To that end Village Solicitor D. R. Goldthorpe was requested by council to prepare petition forms that can be signed by property owners including a preliminary estimate of the cost to the owners.Laundon prepared tentative estimates on several forms of gutters, recommending cement curbs and gutters as the form best suited for permanence and conformity. Costs were estimated at approximately $3.00 per running foot for each side of the street for the curbing and gutters. Of this cost property owners would pay the major share, th- "illage paying for the cost of intersections and a percentage of the balance. Tentatively council planned to do the complete job as one project with the village paying a high enough percentage of the total costs to assume all except the costs of each property owner's curb and gutter. Trash boxes rejected Council authorized a letter to the Cleveland concern that had proposed installation of trash receptacles on the streets, indicating that the official body did not care to have the receptacles here. The cans w,uld have been put up at no charge to the village but would have carried advertising on all sides. Council turned down the offer on the grounds that the "billboards on the sidewalks" would detract from the appearance of the town and would be an obstruction on narrow walks. ' Tt w-s p! , .i..a 1 u-t tiat the existing trash cans, . installed by the Jaycees, were doing a good job, although some were being used by merchants to get rid of waste materials from the stores. Letters received Goldthorpe reported that 14 replies had been received from villages all over the state in answer to the form letter suggesting a state-wide organization of villages. Council briefly discussed further steps in forming such an organization depending upon further, interest from other villages. Since village funds cannot be spent for such' purposes, coun-cilmen as individuals are footing the bills so far, no official action was taken. Extension asked Extension of closing hours for pool rooms until 1 -a.m. was requested by Tom Abraham, operator of the pool room on Tenney avenue. Abraham reported that he had I contacted neighbors in regard to j the hours and had received no complaints for closing later lat- recommendations.
